Matthew 24:10,11 Then he said to them: “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.
An Islamic court in Saudi Arabia has given a death sentence to a man who renounced his Muslim faith.
The man posted an online video of himself ripping up a Koran and then hitting it with a shoe as he said he was no longer a Muslim.
A witness in the court says the video was played showing “’In the video he cursed God, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his daughter Fatimah and ripped a copy of the Holy Qur’an and hit it with a shoe.” The death sentence was then immediately handed down.
Saudi Arabia, a key U.S. ally in the fight against ISIS, follows the Wahhabi Sunni Muslim school and gives clerics control over the justice system. Renouncing Islam brings a death sentence along with other crimes like blasphemy and criticism of senior Muslim clerics.
Executions in Saudi Arabia are usually public beheadings.
